Idris Elba's New Netflix Series Stars Him As A Former DJ-Turned-Nanny, And Count. Us. In.

Idris Elba is one of Hollywood's many charming tough guys. Audiences wouldn't bat an eye seeing him going head to head with a big baddie in a climactic battle sequence, or chasing down a perp as John Luther in BBC's Luther. If there's a role many weren't expecting the actor to be cast in, however, it's as Charlie, a down-on-his-luck DJ turned nanny.

Turn Up Charlie, which premiers on Netflix March 15, will show a new side of Elba to the world.

Fans didn't know it, but this show was they had wanted all along.

The show also seems to feature some very fun cameos!

One Twitter user had a problem with the casting of a non-Nigerian actor as Nigerian...but was quickly informed that the actress was, in fact, from Nigeria! It's all coming together!

Now that the trailer's dropped, DJ D.W. Waterson was finally able to reveal her involvement with the program, which was partially based on her web series That's My DJ.

Fans of both Elba and Waterson couldn't be more excited!

Who wouldn't want Idris Elba spinning the records behind the booth at their wedding?

Get ready—Elba's new show is streaming everywhere on March 15 and it's gonna be big!

Prison is a horrifying place. It is brimming with society's worse. And the people who work and patrol those prisons are living in fear on the daily. Now not everyone is pure evil but plenty are, and those who keep us safe from these people lay their loves down, probably with not enough pay. Imagine spending day in and day out with murderers and lunatics? No thanks.

We all know Murphy's Law is real. And never, NEVER say... "So what next?" That is just calling on the spirits of evil to mess with you. Life is a struggle and sadly some moments are met with sorrow then met with hardship and then misery. It's a wonder we all get out alive..... Oh. Wait.

Warning: This is adult subject matter.Escorting is an arduous job. And it is a job. Maybe not one we'd all love to do but it's work none the less, especially when you have to mess with someone you may not find the most "aesthetically appealing." The workers in the trade have an endless well of stories to tell us. And you know we're dying to hear. Our questions on this topic are bottomless.
